Thanks to all the Quizlings who came to close out Newbvember! If you weren’t there, you still have a chance to get in on the raffle-iciousness. All throughout December, come out to play and get a raffle ticket for our January 2nd Ring-In-The-New-Year Raffle! You’ll also get extra raffle tickets for bringing newbies, posting fliers, essentially spreading the love. Join us for the holidays!

This week, we visited some big islands, played sport in the Great White North and got lighter than air on Turkey Day. And then there were these kissin’ cousin nuptials…

Now check out this week’s team rankings. See you next week, Quizlings!

I think it was back in 1986. Me and my man Orville Redenbacher were hanging out at Knott’s Berry Farm (Camp Snoopy, if I remember correctly) and these punks tried to cut in line for the Timberline Twister. Turns out it was Bartles & Jaymes. Of course, O-Red (as I called him) was about to bust a gasket, since he and B&J had been nemeses ever since the trio had had a falling out over Betty Grable at a USO dance in ’42. So we set about to rumble, right there and then. Orville pulled out his switchblade and I got my crossbow but the wine cooler boys were packin’ some serious heat and so Orville and I cut our losses and made a beeline for the safety of Fiesta Village, where we ate sno-cones and corn dogs until our tummies hurt.

We kinda lost touch after that, he and I. But to this day I can never enjoy a bag of Orville Redenbacher SmartPop! Butter without smelling his old man aftershave mingled with the aroma of cotton candy and fear sweat.

Today would have been his 100th birthday. I still miss you, old friend.

Happy Thanksgiving, Quizlings! For those of you who didn’t make it out to play this week, I hope you can join us for the final week of Newbvember next Wednesday. Bring a trivia newbie and get a raffle ticket for the final drawing – two gift cards will go home with lucky Quizlings.

So … we’ve received all the relatives’ dietary restrictions and I think it’s safe to say that this will be the best gluten-free, carb-free, nut-free, sugar-free, dairy-free, low-fat, low-sulfur, low-protein, low-sodium, kosher, halal, paleo, macrobiotic, vegetarian Thanksgiving ever!

When I was seven, my birthday party was held at a restaurant called the Wiener King. They roped off an area for us kids and had hot dog shaped balloons and a hot dog shaped cake and banana splits with red bananas to make them look like hot dogs. We got hot dogs for lunch and even played “pin the wiener on the bun.”

Newbvember got off to a great start and some lucky Quizling went home with a Dunkin Donuts gift card. Want your shot at similar prizes? Bring a trivia tyro out to play any Wednesday this month to enter our raffle!

This week, there was talk of koala kin, dark web marketplaces and hackey sack origins. Plus there was this majestic mascot…
